Unifying Analytic and Statically-Typed Quasiquotes

Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Metaprograms are programs that manipulate (generate, analyze and evaluate) other programs. These tasks are greatly facilitated by quasiquotation, a technique to construct and deconstruct program fragments using quoted code templates expressed in the syntax ...

Object-Oriented Recovery for Non-volatile Memory

James Richard Larus, Nachshon Cohen, David Teksen Aksun

New non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies enable direct, durable storage of data in an application's heap. Durable, randomly accessible memory facilitates the construction of applications that do not lose data at system shutdown or power failure. Existing ...

Initialization patterns in Dotty

Martin Odersky, Fengyun Liu

Safe object initialization is important to avoid a category of runtime errors in programming languages. In this paper, we provide a case study of the initialization patterns on the Dotty compiler. In particular, we find that calling dynamic-dispatching met ...

Interleaving with coroutines: a systematic and practical approach to hide memory latency in index joins

Anastasia Ailamaki, Georgios Psaropoulos

Index joins present a case of pointer-chasing code that causes data cache misses. In principle, we can hide these cache misses by overlapping them with computation: The lookups involved in an index join are parallel tasks whose execution can be interleaved ...

Quoted Staged Rewriting: A Practical Approach to Library-Defined Optimizations

Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Staging has proved a successful technique for programmatically removing code abstractions, thereby allowing for faster program execution while retaining a high-level interface for the programmer. Unfortunately, techniques based on staging suffer from a num ...

Squid: Type-Safe, Hygienic, and Reusable Quasiquotes

Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Quasiquotes have been shown to greatly simplify the task of metaprogramming. This is in part because they hide the data structures of the intermediate representation (IR), instead allowing metaprogrammers to use the concrete syntax of the language they man ...

Improving Scalability of Symbolic Execution for Software with Complex Environment Interfaces

Stefan Bucur

Manual software testing is laborious and prone to human error. Yet, among practitioners, it is the most popular method for quality assurance. Automating the test case generation promises better effectiveness, especially for exposing corner-case bugs. Symbo ...

Prototyping Symbolic Execution Engines for Interpreted Languages

George Candea, Johannes Kinder, Stefan Bucur

Symbolic execution is being successfully used to automatically test statically compiled code. However, increasingly more systems and applications are written in dynamic interpreted languages like Python. Building a new symbolic execution engine is a monume ...

Multi-hop Broadcast from Theory to Reality: Practical Design for Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Alexandre Fawal

We propose a complete design for a scope limited, multi-hop broadcast middleware, which is adapted to the variability of the ad-hoc environment and works in unlimited ad-hoc networks such as a crowd in a city, or car passengers in a busy highway system. We ...

The Perfectly-Synchronized Round-based Model of Distributed Computing

Rachid Guerraoui, Bastian Pochon

The perfectly-synchronized round-based model provides the powerful abstraction of crash-stop failures with atomic and synchronous message delivery. This abstraction makes distributed programming very easy.We describe a technique to automatically transform ...

On Embedding Domain-specific Languages with User-friendly Syntax

Gilles Dubochet

I present a strategy to define domain-specific languages with a natural-language syntax in an object-oriented host language. I describe ScalaDBC, a database library with an embedded DSL to encode queries in SQL-like syntax and that uses this strategy. ...
